I am doing a fundraiser for the U of A Wesley Foundation as they are in the process of raising money for a new building and have recently moved into a temporary space that has a kitchen (their old building not only didn't have a kitchen, it had an outhouse instead of bathrooms! :yuck:). I am...

Yes - it worked just fine. I liked it but it's best to make it when there are enough people to eat it all while it's fresh - it looses something with reheating, IMHO.

jjaastef - I sent you a PM regarding the bag. I am still interested and can pay via Paypal. I am not interested in the apron. Thanks, Marci

I would like it - my zip is 72701. Thanks, Marci

I would be interested in the August promo bag - REALLY wanted it but things conspired and I only got one show.

Just had a thought - I have received several orders from people I don't know. If these are people that don't have a consultant and found me through the lead system, great! However, I'm wondering if they SHOULD have gone to other consultants. Would it be helpful for those of us who have received...

I just got an order from a lady I don't know but am very grateful for!

Has anyone else been getting more online orders than usual lately? In the last week I have received three online orders from people I do not know. On two of them, all the information I got was their name and the third was from someone in New York state - I'm in Arkansas! I'm not complaining - a...

I have been approached by the company that creates the athletic calendar posters and cards for our local high school. They are asking me to purchase a business-card size ad for $250 that will appear on all the posters for fall athletic events and have stated that I will be the only Pampered Chef...

Update - I told my host not to worry about reimbursing me for gas and she said she would feel very bad if she didn't give me something and sent me a check for $40. In addition, we will be closing her show this week with over $300 in guest sales between the people who were at the shower that...

One follow-up on this. The host has offered to pay me for my mileage but I feel bad accepting it under the circumstances. What would you do?

Absolutely my feeling - I just needed to vent a little bit. The host told me as I left "I still have two single sons" so I'm sure she'll call me again and I like working with her. My heart goes out to her son and her entire family but as she also said, "better before the wedding than after".

I drove about 65 miles (each way) yesterday to do a bridal shower for a repeat customer. Her older son got married two years ago and we had a great shower over $1000. Yesterday was a shower for her younger son's fiancée and we currently have $860 in orders. Both bride and groom are young (19)...

This one runs about $200 but has excellent reviews. There are a few available for around $100-$150 but their reviews are not as good. I'm headed to OfficeMax shortly and will report back. I don't know if they have it in stock but and going to check.

I print Outside Order forms from CC to use at my shows and have had some clients ask if they can take their order home so they remember what they ordered until it arrives. I am considering purchasing a Fujitsu SnapScan S1100 Portable Scanner to take to shows with me so that I can keep a copy of...
